Hi Pamela, ahh thank you for your lovely words ! The wool I used for the blanket is Stylecraft Alpaca DK. I've been really pleased with how its worked up, its so lovely and soft ( and a good price too ! ) The stitch is DC, UK stitch, or SC, US stitch. Very, very simple and very therapeutic to do. When I've finished it I'll write up the pattern on my side-bar. K x

Oh I love that photo with the cat, the crochet and the beautiful lamp light. So cosy, I want to curl up there too. Enjoy your break, it is very well deserved. The blanket is gorgeous, exactly the kind of thing I love. CJ xx

Oh how nice a whole week off. I hope you are enjoying yourself and recharging your batteries ready for the forthcoming year. You must have real mixed emotions as your bigguns leave and you get ready to take on your next influx of littlies. Glad to see you've managed find a minder for your blanket I bet Itsy keeps Otto in check.

Loving the simplicity of the white trim against grey on the blanket - just right.Lovely flowers, it must be a wrench at the end of every year to say goodbye to the little ones moving on, but then comes the fun of the new children I guess.Lovely last few posts, I've enjoyed catching up with puppy and crochet even if I havent commented.Hope you enjoy your week off Kate, and have plenty of puppy fun!Gill xx

Love the 'Monday' picture! Your crochet is beautiful, and I agree the borders really finish off the design of the whole thing...love the ones you make, and the little bow here is very sweet. I hope you have a relaxing time and are all ready for the new littlies to arrive :)Happy weekend.Helen xox
